I knew a man BojanglesAlways danced with worn out shoesThe silver hair, a ragged shirtAnd bare ragged paintsThe old soft shoeHe jumps so highHe jumps so high andThen he lightly touches downI met him in a New Orleans cafèHe was down and outI knew a man, Bojangles, and he danced for youIn worn out shoesWith silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pantsThe old soft shoeHe jumped so high, jumped so high, then he lightly touched downI met him in a cell in New Orleans, I wasSo down and outHe looked at me to be the eyes of ageAs he spoke right outHe talked of life, he talked of lifeHe laughed, clicked heels insteadMister BojanglesMister BojanglesMister BojanglesDance!He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairsThroughout the southHe spoke with tears of fifteen years How his dog and he traveled aboutHis dog up and died, dog up and diedAfter twenty years he still grievedHe said, I dance now at every chance in honky tonksFor drinks and tipsBut most of the time I spend behind these county barsHe said, I drink a bitHe shook his head and as he shook his head I heard someone ask, pleaseMister BojanglesMister BojanglesMister BojanglesDance!
